Chapter 6 Making Money

Early the next morning, the college held its opening ceremony as in previous years.

When noon was approaching, Huo Yuhao sneaked out of the auditorium and walked outside the college.

Not far away, a crisp voice sounded.

"Yuhao, what are you going to do?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at the little girl who had been quietly following him since just now, and sighed helplessly.

"I'm going to sell grilled fish to earn living expenses."

"Okay, okay, I want to go too!"

Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Huo Yuhao expectantly.

I just don’t know whether she is going to help sell or eat.

Huo Yuhao, who was in a hurry, did not refuse and did not stop at all.

"Then you have to help. I'll pay you a salary."

Xiao Wu cheered when she heard that there was grilled fish to eat and money to take.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up, I can't wait any longer."

After saying that, he grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm and walked out quickly.

After leaving the academy, the two had a simple division of labor. Huo Yuhao gave Xiao Wu some money to buy an oven and iron rack from a blacksmith shop in the city, while he went to find a merchant to buy fish.

"Boss, how do you sell herring?"

"Children, do you want to buy fish? Two copper coins each. They were just caught this morning. Take a look. They are very fresh."

Huo Yuhao nodded, the price was not high, "Then give me thirty items and help me deal with them."

Seeing that he was a big customer, the boss immediately beamed and even gave Huo Yuhao a discount.

"Just five Gintama coins."

He slaughtered and cleaned the internal organs quickly and dressed the fish with thatch. He looked at Huo Yuhao with some doubts.

"Young man, how do you get so many fish?"

Huo Yuhao slapped his head, "It seems that we need to make a storage soul guide as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome when there are too many things."

When I was standing in front of the stall, feeling at a loss, I turned around and saw Xiao Wu walking around looking around, probably looking for me, pushing an oven half a person's height in her hand.

Huo Yuhao quickly waved to Xiao Wu to notice him.

Seeing Huo Yuhao, a smile broke out on Xiao Wu's face, she quickened her pace and pushed the stove over.

"Yuhao, you don't even know that the uncle from the blacksmith shop just praised me for my beauty, gave me a discount, and gave me a lot of charcoal."

Before she even came forward, Xiao Wu was telling her story with a proud look on her face.

He looked at Huo Yuhao expectantly and pursed his lips slightly. His meaning was very obvious. Why don't you praise me?

Huo Yuhao looked at the coquettish Xiao Wu with amusement.

"It's a good thing you came with me this time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle this fish alone. I'll give you the grilled fish first."

"Hmph, then I want to eat two!"

With Xiao Wu joining in, the two of them walked slowly down the street carrying the fish and pushing the oven.

Huo Yuhao looked around, trying to find a better place to set up his stall, while Xiao Wu was curious about everything and looked around.

"That's it."

Huo Yuhao found a satisfactory position and stopped with Xiao Wu.

Set up the oven, mix the seasonings you brought with you and the perilla, stuff it into the belly of the fish, and thread it through with bamboo skewers.

The stove was not big and could bake four fish at a time. I lit the fire with ease, put the fish on the rack and started baking.

Skillfully observing the heat, and constantly turning the grilled fish, a rich aroma wafted out in a short time, attracting the curious eyes of passers-by and vendors.

Xiao Wu saw everyone looking over and shouted loudly.

"Selling grilled fish~delicious grilled fish~guaranteed to eat from your tongue to your stomach!"

After a while, a man with some gorgeous clothes came to the stall.

“Kid, how do you sell grilled fish?”

"Ten copper coins each. Sir, would you like to try one?"

"It smells good. Let me try two first." The man nodded with a smile and handed over two silver coins.

After signaling Xiao Wu to accept the money, Huo Yuhao raised his head and smiled at the man, "It'll be ready soon."

After a while, the four fish were grilled. Huo Yuhao handed them to Xiao Wu and the man respectively. The eyes of passersby also fell on the man.

The golden grilled fish is dotted with red seasoning, and the aroma is fragrant.

The man hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and bit down. The crispy fish skin made a clicking sound, followed by the tender fish meat, with the unique fragrance of perilla reverberating in his mouth.

The man's eyes widened, he didn't care to speak, he started eating heavily, and gestured two to Huo Yuhao with his other hand, asking for two more!

The passers-by onlookers also rushed up, "Little brother, I want two too!" "I want one too!" "Give me four!"

"Don't be anxious, everyone. I only have twenty-six left. Everyone is first come, first served, first served."

Huo Yuhao responded with a smile and winked at Xiao Wu who was devouring the food.

Even though I couldn't stop talking about the idea of ​​dancing, I still collected money very quickly.

The grilled fish was very popular, and Huo Yuhao grilled the last two fish in a blink of an eye, attracting competition from passers-by.

"I'll give you four silver coins a piece!"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened. Is there such a person who was taken advantage of? Then he looked at Huo Yuhao with pleading eyes.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and did not raise the price maliciously. This also moved the passers-by so much that they insisted on buying the last two grilled fish at double the price.

"Little brother, you know how to keep your word at a young age. You deserve this. Take it, I'll come back tomorrow!"

Huo Yuhao couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to accept it with thanks.

"Close the stall!"

Xiao Wu happily waved her arms to celebrate today's big sale, while Huo Yuhao also smiled.

It was so popular on the first day. It looks like we can increase the number of fish later.

"Yu Hao, this is what we earned today, look! There are three gold soul coins."

Xiao Wu was so excited when she saw so much money for the first time. She spread her hands to show her today's income, then pushed her hand and motioned for Huo Yuhao to take it.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and took all the change and part of the silver soul coins from it, leaving ten silver soul coins lying quietly in Xiao Wu's hand.

"It's for you. You've had a hard day today."

"Huh? So many? I just shouted twice, but it didn't help much."

After Wang Sheng's teaching, Xiao Wu already had a concept of money. She knew that she already had two or three months' income of an ordinary family.

Huo Yuhao pushed his hand back and looked up at Xiao Wu with clear eyes.

"Without you today, I wouldn't be able to sell so much fish. Besides, the blacksmith shop gave you a discount because of your face. You deserve this."

"Next time I sell grilled fish, I want you to help me. Of course, your portion of grilled fish will be enough, haha."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao lowered his head and continued to pack the oven.

Xiao Wu looked at Huo Yuhao blankly.

He tightened the silver coins in his hand.

"Um."

It was still afternoon. After leaving the oven at the blacksmith shop, Huo Yuhao led Xiao Wu around.

Seeing Xiao Wu walking in front holding his hand and looking around curiously, Huo Yuhao had a faint smile on his face.

No matter in his previous life or now, Xiao Wu's attitude towards him was very friendly. His innocent and playful personality also brought a lot of smiles to Huo Yuhao in his previous life in the God Realm.

"Huh."

"Boss, how can I sell this stone?"

Huo Yuhao picked up a blue stone the size of his little finger, and there was another one of the same size next to it.

"Those two stones look good to me. I'll put them up to see if anyone likes them. If you want them, take them with a silver coin!"

Huo Yuhao nodded, paid two silver coins, and pocketed the two pebbles.

"Yuhao, why did you buy this broken stone? Although it looks good, it does look good."

Huo Yuhao blinked without explaining, "Go buy some more materials and I'll make you a gift.
